Terms of Service

About these terms

These terms are an agreement between you and Yujin Choi. Beyond JLPT is operated by Yujin Choi, 5 Wyandotte Place, Seven Hills, Australia (“we”, “us”). By creating an account or using Beyond JLPT at https://beyondjlpt.com, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the service.

The service

Beyond JLPT offers online Japanese courses (lessons with slides, reading, listening and writing practice), vocabulary and kanji flashcards, and AI speaking practice with feedback. We may add, change or remove features over time.

Your account

• You must be at least 16 to create an account, and 18 (or have a parent's or guardian's permission) to make a purchase.
• Give accurate information and keep your password safe. You're responsible for activity on your account.
• An account is for one person. Don't share it or let others use your access.

Plans, purchases and payment

Our order process is conducted by our online reseller Paddle.com. Paddle.com is the Merchant of Record for all our orders. Paddle provides all customer service inquiries about payments and handles returns. Paddle's buyer terms also apply to your purchase.

• Subscriptions (Core and Accelerated) are priced per week and billed in advance, either every 4 weeks or once a year, depending on the option you choose, and renew automatically until you cancel. You can cancel at any time; you keep access until the end of the period you've paid for.
• Course purchases are a one-off payment for ongoing access to that course for as long as we offer the service. If we ever close the service, we'll give at least 30 days' notice. Course purchases don't include speaking practice.
• Speaking practice comes with an allowance of sessions that depends on your plan (see Pricing). Unused sessions don't carry over.
• Prices are in US dollars. Paddle adds any sales tax or VAT that applies where you live.
• If we change a subscription price, we'll tell you in advance, and the new price applies from your next renewal.

Refunds are covered by our Refund Policy.

Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• use the service for anything unlawful, fraudulent or harmful, or to send spam;
• copy, share, resell or publish our lessons, audio or other content, or otherwise infringe anyone's intellectual property;
• interfere with the service's security, including spreading malware, probing for weaknesses, or scraping or bulk-downloading content;
• get around usage limits, or use bots or scripts in place of a real learner;
• submit abusive, hateful, sexual or otherwise inappropriate content in speaking practice or custom scenarios.

AI features

• Speaking practice, feedback, scores and custom scenarios are produced by AI. They're designed to help you learn, but they can be wrong. Don't rely on them as professional, legal or exam advice.
• You're responsible for what you say and write in the service, and you must have the right to submit it. You may use the AI's replies and feedback for your own learning.
• We may decline, limit or remove content that breaks these terms, and limit access for repeated misuse.
• If you believe something in the service infringes your rights, email contact@beyondjlpt.com and we'll look into it promptly.

Our content

We (or our licensors) own the service and its content, including lessons, slides, audio and software. We give you a personal, non-transferable licence to use it for your own learning while your access lasts.

Availability

We work to keep Beyond JLPT running smoothly, but we can't promise it will always be available, uninterrupted or error-free. We may pause it for maintenance.

Suspension and closing accounts

We may suspend or close an account for a serious or repeated breach of these terms, non-payment, or a security or fraud risk. Where reasonable, we'll tell you first. You can close your account at any time by emailing support@beyondjlpt.com.

Liability

Nothing in these terms excludes rights you have under the Australian Consumer Law or other consumer laws that can't be excluded. Otherwise, to the extent the law allows, we aren't liable for indirect or consequential loss, and our total liability to you is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. We'll show the date at the top, and tell you about significant changes by email or on the website before they take effect. Continuing to use the service after that means you accept the new terms.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of NSW, Australia.
